FAIR TRADE

Use your knowledge and professional experience to strengthen fair trade practices. UEX offers you the opportunity to train and complete your internship in a US company while contributing to the development of Latin America. Our “Yuyari Village” program seeks to create channels for the transfer of knowledge between universities, companies and society.

Working hours will focus on improving the productive activities of local communities; the participants will propose improvements or solutions for their daily work, and will work to promote development projects derived from fair trade.

The program is the result of an alliance between Corporación UEX Ecuador, a non-profit organization recognized by the Ministry of Education of Ecuador, and Yuyari Village LLC, a fair trade promoter, with legal basis in the state of Delaware (United States).

Description:

Participants will be exposed to situations and real cases that arise daily in the communities of Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, where Yuyari Village LLC carries out its activities.

The activities to be carried out will be closely related to the careers of the participants, which represents an extension of their academic training.

All work is done online; that is, the participants will not have to travel to the communities. It will be enough to comply with the activities and deadlines described in the schedule.

Each activity has an estimated working time, from which the calculation is made to record the hours of professional practices (360 hours in total). When presenting the advances, the participant will complete the required hours.

Participants will carry out their internships at Yuyari Village LLC; therefore, they will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States.

The practices are not remunerated, because they focus on strengthening the professional profile of the participants and developing their skills for solving real problems in their area of ​​study.

The participants will receive permanent advice from their tutor, who is part of the UEX Professional Network and their feedback will be part of the educational component of the program: the training.

At the end of the program, participants must submit a report of professional practices, which will serve as a basis for future studies.
